“My experience in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program inlfluenced
me (to join). I loved it and wanted to make a career of it.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be constant yelling, no sleep, not eating,
etc. I ended up enjoying my time.”
The most challenging part of BCT was “the transition from civilian to Soldier.”
My advice to someone starting BCT is “don’t hesitate. BCT is exactly what you make of it.”
My MOS is “89B - Ammunition Specialist. I chose this because of the environment it will put me in.”
